BronyCon 2013: Applejack's Parents are still Dead Edition · 5:40am Aug 6th, 2013
So, due to a confluence of good fortune that has no sensibility existing for a pasty midwest kid like myself, (North Dakota is such a frigid winter wasteland that the government will bleed the coffers for smart cookies to remain in the state proper and not flee for greener pastures like a Japanese baseball player jumping seas to play in the illustrious and testosterone sweating MLB. Thus, free college!), I recently had the benefit of purchasing a pink pony to offer as tribute to the one true Faust plane ticket to attend BronyCon. Fellow illustrious authors Sunchaser and RazedRainbow shared a hotel room, and we spent the wee hours tossing critical horseword insights and baffling non-sequiturs, to the tune of best pony notes to grace our fandom.
That's the standard background information, anyway. Because I'd like not for this to become a vomiting, rambling diatribe of how BronyCon was the best thing ever since Rollie Finger's Mustache, a bullet point photo summary will have to suffice.
Dress Pony and Yellow Quiet!
(Zoom in. You will never unsee).
That's just surface level shenanigans. More obligatory reflections may pop up in the next few days.
(And, for the record, Sunny is as grand and bombastic as a solar flare, and Razed is a dirty southern hick. Was there ever any doubt?)
You're alive!
I'm offended. I am a messy Southern hick, not dirty
There's a certain story you should finish.
I promised.

Clearly you're both.
You going this year?

I'll be arriving Thursday afternoon with a full ensemble of splendid author folk accompanying me within a Holiday Inn Tower suite - Sunchaser, Jake The Army Guy, RazedRainbow, and Golden Vision. We'll see if the hotel cracks beneath our combined awesomeness.
Oh, and as an addendum, did we meet last year? I'm pleased to have you poking around into my attendance status, but I can't recall us having much extended contact anywhere - at Bronycon or online. Not that I'm not thrilled at the query, mind you.
2311171 No, don't think we did. I met Jake and I think Sunchaser. Or else I failed to meet Sunchaser. I remember trying to track him down to tell him where the dinner was. My cell is 703-835-4811 if you want to meet. I imagine I'll mostly do writing stuff, extended lunches, & Quills & Sofas.
The DC Bronies Meetup is gathering in Baltimore Thursday afternoon & doing something, see here. Not that I know them yet. Most of their events are far from me.
Hey, cool. We'll be rocking some Cards Against Humanity and proving what awful, awful people we are most nights, I'll gather. We'd be remiss if that gigantic, witty brain of yours wasn't in the room with us.
(In other words, we'd be delighted to have you along, natch).
